    Dranger replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Dranger replied to dropkickRN's topic in Government, Military

    You are are talking about a really niche job in the Army....99% of Army nurses have no involvement with FSTs, JECC etc. You can't bank on it.... In my Army career I have met 1-2 Army flight nurses and...

    Dranger replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Dranger replied to friendlylark's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You are telling me USC will provide preceptors no matter where you live? Sorry I really don't believe that, as it isn't really logistically possible. Make sure it just isn't around the SoCal area.......
